when i first picked up this book i imagined it would be incredibly interesting. when i learned more about it i though it would be incredibly emotional. and while i think this book was trying to be those things, it never quite got there. at times it felt like it was going into far too much unnecessary detail, but at other times it felt like interesting and important topics were skimmed over without much thought. so while this book had great potential, it definitely fell flat, and ended being just fine in my opinion.
Graphic: Child death, Emotional abuse, and Toxic relationship
